So, is the subject a "blue crane" or a sport? If it was the "crane" (where did you get Pelican?) then I would have cropped differently. If it was a sport - I probably would have tried to concentrate on the boats without the crane, or maybe even waited until some rowers arrived and scared the crane away. Nice focus and reflection though. Good luck in the challenge.
Interesting slant on the challenge. However, I just couldn't make myself give the same scores to the still shots and the action shots. I felt the action shots demonstrated a higher skill level and therefore deserved a higher score.
